? >> there have been a number of cases in the bay area and around the nation and in california and in northern california. and what we highlight in the letter are the recent examples in which especially in northern california, the juries are likely to pay out higher settlement amounts and that is something that should concern the supervisors in terms of liability. not only in the cases where a death was caused but in a situation where it was used that it amounted for an accessive use of force. you will have juries around california handing out multimillion-dollar verdicts and cities and counties settling for the officers misusing these die vices and i have no doubt that some of the population, here that would be disproportionately impacted would probably have a problem and file suit. >> in san francisco, we would apply tasers here, we would have rules about how they are used. but, i guess, there is no rules anywhere else about how they are applied because they are cases of possible abuse and settlements or that settlements occurred or does that mean that there are lower standards for how they

mellon wealth management >>> welcome back. there is simply no relief in northern california. the storms keep on coming. four of them in less than a week. one death is attributed to this terrible weather. more rain is actually expected today. meteorologist rob marciano is tracking all of this from the cnn weather center in atlanta what do you have for us? >> more rain over saturated soil. that's the problem. once we get rid of this one, we should see more of a drying pattern. in some cases they have received almost two feet of rainfall in a six-day period. flood watches remain up from seattle to just -- just south of medford, across northern california for another three, four inches of rainfall today. storm warnings up as well. it will be windy, high wind warnings posted for some of the mountains and higher crests of the sierras and cascades. here is your first pulse of rainfall for today. fourth storm in less than a week. this is a double whammy. we get a pulse this morning in the form of rain and snow. a warmer pulse later on today. that will sink down to the south and grab the norther
